My Jesus Loved Me First

[verse 1]

I’m an old soul, with a brand new heart,
Since I let Jesus take me by the hand,
He blessed me with a brand new start,
And gave me hope for the promised land.

Each failure, He forgave on that ol’ cross,
How great, my precious savior has been,
He suffered for what we thought was a loss,
Till’ He rose 3 days later, and conquered sin,

[chorus]

Hosanna, how great is He, willing to die all for me, My Jesus Loved Me First,
His mighty hand reaches down, to lead me down that narrow way,
King of Kings, how great Thou art, you pull me from the snare I’m in,
That lying’ Devil tried to steal me away, I didn’t think I’d ever get away,
Living life my way, in so much pain, until the Spirit dwelt from within,
Hosanna, how great Is He, willing to die all for me, My Jesus Loved Me First,

[verse 2]

There ain’t a thing I’ve done, to deserve such salvation,
With all my heart I will follow Your ways, dying to my flesh each day,
Nobody can steal my joy, walking with Jesus, I’m a new creation,
The grace You’ve shown, the joy You bring, nothing can take that away,

Give me strength to follow Your ways, so many lost that need to be saved,
My heart breaks for those lost sheep, it is You they need,
Planting your seed and praying each day, let them see they’re enslaved,
There’s a better way, if only they could see, through You they’d be freed,

[Chorus]

Hosanna, how great is He, willing to die all for me, My Jesus Loved Me First,
His mighty hand reaches down, to lead me down that narrow way,
King of Kings, how great Thou art, you pull me from the snare I’m in,
That lying’ Devil tried to steal me away, I didn’t think I’d ever get away,
Living life my way, in so much pain, until the Spirit dwelt from within,
Hosanna, how great Is He, willing to die all for me, My Jesus Loved Me First,

[bridge]

Praise be to You, God in the highest, all praise be to You,
I love you Jesus, my best friend, some day I’ll meet you in Glory-land,

[Outro full energy and emotion]

Hosanna, how great is He, willing to die all for me, My Jesus Loved Me First, ohhhhh, my Jesus Loved Me First.
